    The Wormser Tor is a triumphal arch-like city gate, a relic of the former fortifications of the city of Frankenthal. The gate characterizes the northern entrance to the city center and the pedestrian zone. It was named after the free imperial city of Worms, as was Wormser Straße, which led from what was then the city center through the gate to Worms. The counterpart to this is the Speyer Gate at the southern entrance to the city centre.

      The Worm Gate was built from 1770 to 1772.
      "Under Elector Carl Theodor, Frankenthal experienced a period of prosperity that lasted until the French Revolution. The Elector renewed the city fortifications by expanding the circular wall and erecting new, magnificent gates resembling triumphal arches. [...] The northern gable displays Carl Theodor's coat of arms. On the south side [toward the pedestrian zone], allegorical depictions of War and Peace can be seen. In the gable, there is a medallion with the Elector's portrait." - Source (quoted verbatim): Metal plaque next to the Worm Gate
